What is BookCrossing?

if you love your books, let them go- The New York Times

an unlikely global sociology experiment- Book Magazine

a modern-day message in a bottle- San Francisco Chronicle

BookCrossing is the act of releasing your books "into the wild" for a stranger to find, or via "controlled release" to another BookCrossing member, and tracking where they go via journal entries from around the world. Our community of 1,930,115 passionate, generous book-lovers is changing the world and touching lives, one traveling book at a time. We hope you join us!
